In the small, sparse town of Nashquitten, MA, a host of characters struggle with life as the town crumbles under the lies of its residents and a mystery. When a young high school girl dies at a house party, the murky tale of what happened starts to unravel. Through ten different female characters--each with a distinctive voice and personality--we slowly learn what happened.

At first I was a little frustrated with the switching narrators, but eventually I came to really like it. Grabowski does a wonderful job making each woman singular and complex. I will admit, at times I didn't like certain characters and the way they acted, but, eventually I realized it was real and true to the human experience. The mystery was engaging and the characters strong. My one complaint would be that at times the story dragged on, especially considering the mystery element. I wanted to be on the edge of my seat and, at too many moments, I wasn't.

If you're a fan of mysteries and complex, even at times unlikeable female characters, give this novel a try.
